With its cute curls and plaintive eyes, it is no wonder that labradoodle became the second favorite dog of the United States in 2010.
But the man who invented the breed crossing a Labrador with a poodle in the 80s ended up regretting it.
"I opened a Pandora's box, that's what I did," said Wally Conron, the director of puppy breeding in 2014. "So many people are just increasing their income. Many of these dogs have physical problems and many of them are just crazy.
Originally, the creation of Conron was the result of a desire to do well. He was responding to the request of a couple who needed a dog that would serve as a guide dog to a blind woman, but who would also be hypoallergenic for her husband.
Once the magic canine was produced, the news came out and everyone wanted one. There was just one problem: the Labradoodles did not come out the same way every time. Their coats – and their behavior – are actually unpredictable. some are not even hypoallergenic.
Pure breeds crossed with other pure breeds – better known as designer dogs – have captured our affection for 20 years. But the actual cost of these dogs far exceeds their price tags by several thousand dollars, according to "Designer Dogs: A Presentation Inside the Underworld of Crosses" by Madeline Bernstein.
The demand for these dogs has led to a corrupt underground economy that carries animals through puppy mills, trade shows, internet sales and retail stores that often buy from unsavory sources.
Bernstein, an animal welfare expert, calls it the "high price of lovable".
The cost of reproducing labradoodles is odd when you consider tea cup dogs. Miniature Yorkies, Pomeranians and Chihuahuas – often seen wandering in celebrity bursaries such as Paris Hilton – are the result of breeding runts with runts. But runts are usually the most unhealthy dogs in the litter and these health problems are passed on. Teacup mothers often die giving birth.
Most legitimate breeders refuse to enter the tea cup business, which means most are shipped from South Korea.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is not immune to the charms of designer dogs. In late 2016, he received a trio of genetically modified Belgian Malinois babies, designed to be stronger and fitter than normal dogs, with advanced sniffers for detecting drugs and explosives. But his "super-war dogs" also proved to be defective. Despite the fact that he was cloned with a dog with the good traits in a large Seoul laboratory, they failed the training and obedience tests, they could not seize the Russian commands Putin banished them in unscrupulous work by keeping a prison.
Of course, purebred dogs have long suffered from health problems, the French bulldogs being one of the most important examples. Their increasingly flattened nose makes breathing difficult, while their deformed body shapes make natural mating impossible. (Artificial insemination is used instead.) At the time of delivery, mothers-mothers must have caesareans because the heads of French bulldogs are too big for a natural birth.
In order to stop the madness, Bernstein is predictably encouraging people to adopt their pets in shelters. But what if you have your heart on a labradoodle, a goldendoodle, a puggle or a maltipoo? First of all, Bernstein says, never buy a tea cup dog. Then find a reputable breeder. Responsible breeders do not sell their dogs on the Internet (although advertising their online business is a good thing). They should not ask you to meet you in a parking lot (it's more common than you think). They will treat one or two races – not many. There should not be several staves available – you may have to wait for one. You should be allowed and encouraged to look around the property of the breeder. And you should be able to ask references from old customers. Life can be a thing for a puppy on his journey to a friend forever, says Bernstein. It is therefore crucial that people take their time to find a pet in the right direction.
